CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. &c AT the opening val
ues were higher on change to- day and slightly
Increased firmness, coming chiefly from the
continued cold weather. Wheat In sympathy
with firmer feeling with corn, opened &C bet
ter at $50 for September, bat trading being qui-
ct, soon reacted 10 csc around which figure II
remained most of the morning. Towards noon
the market again picked uD, September reach
ing 69ac. This comparatively high figure
seemed to have the effect of bringing out
considerable quantity of long stuff, for
at that point nearly all the local crowd
sudde My became sellers and drove values
back to CSC. Talk was bearish on general
PRINCIPLES. The raid of the bears on the Jew
York stock EXCHANGE had depressing effect
on markets mere. september wheat closed at
at 6S14 G657sc. Corn opened steady on Change
TO day, and during the early part OF the SEES
sion slightly better prices prevailed. In the
afternoon a decline set in which was most
felt Just before the close, and prices at one
time were from nG3Ec under those
of yesterday, The weather in the corn belt
was generally cloudy with light rain and much
warmer temperature. Outside orders were
light and fluctuations were from local causes.

which poin. it declined to Ale, the lowest for

and closed at 4l7sc; May opened at 45ac, sold
at 452sc, then up to 49, 45z5c, then down to
45Asc 10 the close. The provision market
appeared to be no disposition among
traders to make any effort to 6Xtrcate
1t. The outside speculative business continues
light and the local scalpers are the principal
traders. Offerings of products were fair and at
the close tame feeling prevailing, but the only
change of Importance WAS the ad sance of sc on
pork. Lard sold at Sc 4O66 A.; September
